Hey Gang - Ran across a binder of Speed Queen literature from the late 60's today, and found these two gems. Prepare to be dazzled! "The new 1967 washer and dryer in Avocado" I LOVE this photo. Not just because of the Speed Queens - but the look she is giving us. She must really be happy that you sprung the big bucks for her new SS set! Look, even some candles lit on the table! |

When was the last time you saw that! *LOL* Thanks for a great post and read! Just LOVVVVE those SQ machines. SQ is so correct in pointing out that with so many modern fabrics and various items making up laundry today (well, then), Madame did not require a huge wash tub, but the opposite. Smaller tub, less water, faster cycles, less energy, someone needs to get Alliance to bring back these solid tub washers, I for one think they would do well in today's environment. Now if everyone will excuse me, going to get dressed, do my hair and put on high heels, then do a load of laundry! *LOL* L. |

If I remember correctly, the over the top spin may have been good to push the lint and dirt over the top of the tub. But in reality it didn't do such a hot job in spin drying the clothes after they were stuck to the sides of the tub. Most of the coin op laundries, at least in my area, use SQ. This speaks to me on their rugged dependability. |
